And why on earth would it not work ? Do you honestly believe that Kim would sign a contract with the Army if he wasn't sure? You are again consistently seeing problems which do not exist.
Well worst case scenario...It depends on time. MS of any quality is superior to mundane silk so MS to completely replace normal silk. This would take years but the silk market is $5B a year. If KBLB can get 1% that would be $50M a year.
That is part of what makes this a good investment. Even a worst case scenario creates a company with growth. When they land a profitable contract the big money investors will show up. Until then traders of all types control the day to day PPS.
So if the shootpacks fail (which they could) then the army wont give us the rest of the $1M. That's about it.
Just because a fiber doesn't work for what the army is using it for doesn't mean it is not usable. IMO the packs will pass and fail. They will not hold up to a bullet(without support)which should be expected. But will stop shrapnel before mortal penetration. It will outperform almost every other fiber the military uses.
In the end the military will ask for an exclusive and supply KBLB with the needed resources to produce the fiber in 2018
